With all the Frozen mania going around it doesn’t surprise me that Olaf make the list. This Sing & Swing Olaf is sure to make any fan of Frozen excited on Christmas morning. Olaf sings and dances to his iconic song “In Summer”. His mouth and head moves while he dances, and her comes with a hat and a cane to match the scene in the movie. This toy requires 3 AA batteries which are included already. See him in action below.

Kids these days are growing up in an era of technology, it’s nothing like when I was growing up. With four children, three of which are old enough to own their own electronics we’ve tried quite a few tablet options for our kids. LeapPad from LeapFrog are great starter tablets for kids. What I love most about this super pack from BJ’s is the bundled extras that’s included in the page. The most important is the protective gel skin. I learned the hard way how now protecting a tablet could result in having to replace it. In addition to the skin this also comes with a $30 download card to get your started in the LeapPad store.

We have an infant, he’s turning one in a few days, right before Christmas.
